Saved - Keep The Dream Alive



I have a confession to make... I LOVE DAVID MICHAEL.  There.  My confession has been made, I feel so much better!  Now on to the reason for this post.  Have you ever REALLY cared about someone to the point where their dreams are your dreams?  Well, you now might have an understanding for the reason I'm doing this.  David has a dream of breaking into the top 10,000 in Amazon.  He is currently at 16k which when you think that there are over 3,000,000 books, isn't too bad.  I want to see this happen.  I have been fortunate to meet so many wonderful indie authors and do what I can in my way to see that their dreams happen.  If you ARE an indie author, you understand how difficult this journey is but that the support of fans, friends, family and blogs continue to keep your dream alive.  His book is only $3.99 for the kindle version and honestly, I spent more this morning on my Starbucks Cafe Mocha than you will spend to help my dear friend see his dream come to life.  


What would you pay to see your friend's dream come true, you ask?  Well, I have a rather large stock pile of signed paperbacks and swag that I am willing to part with from the 3 signings I have been to so far this year that is up for grabs.  Everything but the paperbacks is open internationally. Saved is the third book in the series but reads as a stand alone novel.  It's super sexy, funny, suspenseful, and utterly thought provoking.  Seriously, an amazing read.  I'm not just saying that because I want you to buy it, I'm never one to promote authors or stories I am not an honest fan of.  I'm hoping that somehow we can get around 100 purchases in the next 3 days and would love your help to make that happen.  I have a link to the book in the event that you want to check it out or want to help without entering the giveaway.  Either way, please share, tweet, tag your friends, write a review, tell the world.
Save a dream.


MEET DAVID!!  
He was one of only 5 men brave enough to take our Dare.

Her twenty-first birthday rang in the first day of the humid New Orleans summer and Aziza was hell-bent on making the most of it.  A tall, dark and Creole hunk of a man named Landon walked into the waiting room, something about him rocked her to the core.  She knew he was going to be an integral part of her summer.

Blog Tour Stop: Lisa Eugene's Wrapped in Shadows

Picture
 
WRAPPED IN SHADOWS

One night of shadows. One night of bliss. One night of when it all falls apart.

Katherine Regina Vandercamp has everything. Wealth. Beauty. Social standing. She’s the heiress to the Vandercamp fortune and engaged to the man of her dreams. One night it all shatters…

Finding her fiancé with another woman, she is distraught and makes a reckless decision to go with a friend to a sex club. Needing total anonymity, she has sex with a stranger in a room of total darkness, a sensuous cocoon of silky shadows. She has no idea who this man is or what he looks like. But it is in the shadows she finds solace. In the shadows she finds bliss.

She can’t forget this stranger’s touch, his taste, his scent. He infiltrates her dreams and holds her thoughts and body captive. But has she made a false assumption about her fiancé? Was he truly unfaithful? She regrets her hasty actions and is tormented by guilt. She is determined to marry the man she loves and forget her stranger.

Sinister events unfolded at the sex club. There was a gruesome murder and her stranger has been charged with the crime. Katie knows he’s innocent because she was with him at the time of the murder. She is more shocked to find that he’s not a stranger after all. What will she do? Will she reveal her horrible secret? Will she besmirch the Vandercamp name? Will she risk losing the man who has her heart to save the man who’s touched her soul?

Her life is in turmoil. All because of that one night.

A night that was wrapped in shadows...

Kayla the Bibliophile's Review
 
Sometimes, you just need a book that cuts to the chase at the beginning of the story. This is one of those books, and I LOVED it. From page 1, you are sucked in, because you don't have to sit through learning the back stories of the heroine and the fiancé first; it starts with her walking into her apartment and finding another woman in nothing but her soon-to-be husband's tshirt. BOOM! And the story crescendos from there! That very night, (totally doing what I used to do when I got dumped back in the day, before hubbylicious) Kay goes on the prowl. But unlike what I used to do (went out clubbing with my girlfriends and got random soldiers to buy me drinks until I felt pretty again), homegirl goes to a sex club with her bestie and has what is supposed to be an anonymous one night stand with a total stranger. (Damn, where was that club in Fayettenam?) 
This story was awesome. From the BLAZING hot love scenes, to the mystery going on around them (why do these people keep dying?!) you won't want to put this book down. Like me for instance, who is currently typing this with only one eye open because I stayed up 'til 2 AM, since I couldn't put it down. I'm getting too old for that hehehe!
Great Job, Lisa!

Cover Reveal: The Vine by CA Ellis


The Vine by CA Ellis
Release date: August 2014
Synopsis
LIZZY MAYNARD:
My Life used to be great. I was happy, full of energy, and most importantly, loved. From the day I was born, my family were everything to me: until tragedy struck. Since losing them, I don't love and I don't trust; that way, I don't get hurt.
My breath left my body on a soul-changing gasp when I encountered him, and it's yet to stabilize. In him, I have found the glue to mend my broken heart; he makes me feel complete. There is no doubt I love him, trust him and know he won't ever intentionally hurt me. Now, I could lose him. I could lose everything. And this time, I know I will struggle to recover.
Welcome to the battle for my life.
LUCAS CASTLE:
I work hard. It's the only life I know. I care about my family, but no one else. Certainly, there are women, but I don't do love or commitment, and I definitely don't believe in 'the one'.
My world tilted on its axis when it happened, when this girl came crashing into my world, changing my life for the better and making me undoubtedly aware that my life would never be the same again. I've fallen in love and want commitment because I have met 'the one'.
My life is now complete. Unfortunately, with a tragic twist of fate, I could lose her—my everything—but I will never give up, not without a fight.
Welcome to the fight of my life.
About the Author

Let’s start with a little foreplay…

What would you say is the most embarrassing thing you have done or had done to you?

I’m not sure. I don’t really get embarrassed easily…

Craziest Fan moment?

When the girls from Four Brits and a Book blog told me they’re going to hump my legs in Edinburgh. (It will no doubt be overtaken by the real thing.)

Pick one!

Favorite book and/or author?

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I can’t help it. I love me some Darcy.

Import or Muscle car?

Muscle car.

Favorite song and/or musician?

It changes depending on what I’m writing, but right now it’s Sky Full Of Stars by Coldplay.

 White, Dark or Milk Chocolate?

Dark.

Sam or Dean Winchester?

Meanie. I refuse to answer.

 Commando, Boxers or Briefs?

Boxer briefs… But I’m not averse to commando… just sayin’.

 Damon or Stephan Salvatore?

Can I have both?

Wine or Mixed drink?

THIS IS SO MEAN. Both. Don’t make me choose between a Blow Job and a Rose. I mean, what?

 Coke or Pepsi?

Coke.

 Biker boy or Rocker dude?

Rocker—as long as he plays guitar. Them fingers. ;)

 Do you believe in vampires?

No.

If you could have a super power what power would you pick?

Mind-reading.

What would you do with your super power if you had it?

I’d totally stalk all the hot guys for research. What? I’m serious…

 Would you abuse your super power? How?

^^^ I’d stalk all the hot guys for research…
 

Enough foreplay, let’s get it on!

Tell us about your 1st time!

LOLOLOL. Um, there isn’t much to tell. As in, it lasted two minutes, left me wondering WTF just happened and him with a very, very sore ego.

Screamer, moaner or silent?

Screamer. But don’t tell.

 Whips or chains?

I’m going with a hand.

 What is your favorite alcoholic beverage?

Blow Job or Rose wine.

 Do you ever leave home without panties on?

I wear bikini bottoms when I go to the beach. Does that count?

 Have you ever had sex while at work (any job)? If so, where?

Well, I work from home, and it has been known for me to work, sexytime, then work again. So I guess yes.

 What is the strangest place you ever had sex?

On the stairs. Or over a car hood. Both are kind of awkward. And the second is definitely NOT my best moment.

 What turns you on more, reading a sexual story, watching a porn or listening to sex?

Writing it. It’s like mental porn.

 What profession do you find the most arousing sexually?

If it has abs I’m totally down with it. Really, I’m not fussed.

 Does size matter?

It’s not what you’ve got, it’s how you use it. But I do not begrudge size. At all. OKAY YES IT MATTERS.

 Do you or have you ever had a “cop” fantasy?

Uh, no, but I am now.

 Do you or have you ever had a “Delivery Guy” or “Service Man” fantasy?

No… I’m a little stuck on Cop Channing right now.
 
 If you were on a bus and got a glimpse up a pantiless girl’s skirt would you keep looking?

Um, not intentionally. It would be more of a curious, “Why aren’t you wearing any?” and, “There’s a story here,” look.

 What is the strangest sexual experience you’ve had?

You didn’t get strange from the car hood sex?

 Funniest sexual experience you've ever had?

Losing my virginity. Looking back now it’s fucking hilarious.

 Most embarrassing sexual experience?

Don’t have one. I laugh that shit off.

Dominant or Submissive?

Both. I’m a sexual contradiction. Don’t tell me what to do but don’t expect me to tell you. LOL!

 A fantasy you haven't fulfilled yet?

Sex without being interrupted by kids. LMFAO!

 Your stand on sex toys?

Fucking brilliant. Ask the monster beneath my bed. ;)

 Siiiigh, that was fantastic…how about some pillow talk?

What would you do if you could be a guy for a day?

I’d have a wank. Honestly. I want to know what it feels like for a guy to come because when I asked Mr. H he laughed at me. (To clarify, I was writing a blow job from a male POV and needed to know. It wasn’t dinner chat. LOL)

 How would you describe yourself so that someone could pick you out?

The crazy girl wearing pink and the hot shoes.

 What's the last thought in your head that involved someone you like?

“Hmm, how can I bribe him to fill my wine glass?”

 What is a question you want me to ask you?

I don’t think it matters… you’ve asked me a ton anyway. ;)

 What is a question you refuse to answer?

There isn’t one. I’m an open book, baby!

Any tats or piercings? If so, where?

I have my belly button pierced, but I do want a tattoo. In one of my books my heroine got five birds tattooed on the side of her hand for love, grief, moving on, acceptance, and freedom. I want it on my foot.

 Biggest turn on?

Neck kissing and dirty talk. Oy.

 Biggest turn off?

Farting. LOL!

 Pet peeve?

When people chew with their mouth open. *cringe*

So tell us something nobody knows about you?

Um, I think I already did that.

 What did you think while reading these questions?

LMFAO you cheeky bitch. ;)

 Thank you for answering my naughty questions. Was it as good for you as it was for me?

Absolutely.

Tijan & Logan from the Fallen Crest Series: Dare to Tell the Truth with Kayla the Bibliophile





~Tijan~

Let’s start with a little foreplay…

What would you say is the most embarrassing thing you have done or had done to you?

Lol—in all honesty, I know embarrassing things have happened to me, but I usually forget them. I tend to shrug that stuff off and keep trucking ahead.

Craziest Fan moment?

None, but I have to tell this story (just because both of them tell it too!) When I first arrived at the Authors in the City signing, I was having dinner when Stephanie from Stephanie’s Books Reports and author Ilsa Madden-Hills came over to introduce themselves. They are both so wonderful, but I’m really quiet and reserved when I first meet people one-on-one. I didn’t know what to say so I just sat in my booth and smiled at them. J I know, it’s not a great story.

Pick one!

Favorite book and/or author?

I don’t really have a favorite book, but the authors I love love love are K.A. Robinson, Jay McLean, and Debra Anastasia. I’m groaning because there’s so many I love!

Import or Muscle car?

Ooh. Good question. Import.

Favorite song and/or musician?

Like books, I don’t have a favorite favorite, but I will say that Sail by AWOLNATION is a big one with me. I go through phases and will listen to one song or one album over and over and over and over again, etc. until I’m sick of it.

White, Dark or Milk Chocolate?

Milk!

Sam or Dean Winchester?

Ooh- I love this question. Dean. Even my fiancé knows I love him. He teases me, but he always gets his real name wrong. He keeps saying Jepson O’Reilly…no idea where he got that name.

Commando, Boxers or Briefs?

Boxer-briefs.

Damon or Stephan Salvatore?

DAMON!

Wine or Mixed drink?

Ooh, another good one. Mixed drinks.

Coke or Pepsi?

Diet Coke

Biker boy or Rocker dude?

I like both. I’ll say Rocker dude, but I love Jax from SAO. I was crazy about that show before it aired. I remember playing the 30 second trailer over and over and over for months before the show finally came out.

Do you believe in vampires?

In books? Of course!

If you could have a super power what power would you pick?

Flying! Hands-down. I’ve actually had dreams where I could fly and oh my god, I would do anything to make that happen in real life. That makes me sound crazy, but it’s true. I raved about it to my fiancé. He just shakes his head at me.

What would you do with your super power if you had it?

Fly everywhere!

Would you abuse your super power? How?

Probably. I wouldn’t want to walk anywhere or travel in a car.

Enough foreplay, let’s get it on!

Tijan breathes a sigh of relief as Logan from the Fallen Crest Series walks in…

Tell us about your 1st time!

He frowns and scratches his head. “I might’ve been drunk.” He nods to himself. “Yeah. I think I was drunk, either that or I came so quick and I blacked it out on purpose. Actually, I probably did that.” He grins at Kayla and winks.

Screamer, moaner or silent?

“Me or her? I’m silent, but shit, if they don’t moan or scream, I’m doing something wrong. I make the quietest ones go ape-shit. It’s a skill.”

Whips or chains?

“Chains.” There’s no reaction on his face. “Definitely.”

What is your favorite alcoholic beverage?

“I was into Wild Turkey, but I’m rounding back to imported beer.” He shrugs. “I’m fickle. I change that shit all the time.”

Do you ever leave home without panties on?

He smirks. “Hell yeah. Do you? Right now?”
(Kayla squirms in her seat...)

Have you ever had sex while at work (any job)? If so, where?

“Hell yeah again. In my boss’ office. That was awesome. The guy was a dick. I enjoyed bending that girl over on his desk.”

What is the strangest place you ever had sex?

“Crap. I get asked this question again and I keep forgetting. I’ll go with one time when it was in a carnival ride. It was after hours, but that was still awesome. I think a carnie was watching us.”

What turns you on more, reading a sexual story, watching a porn or listening to sex?

“Watching and listening. I know chicks read that stuff, but I’m more visual.”

What profession do you find the most arousing sexually?

“Besides hookers and porn stars? I don’t know. Waitresses can be seriously hot.”

Does size matter?

“Nope. I’ll plug whatever size she is.” He pauses. “Sorry if that’s too crude.”

Do you or have you ever had a “cop” fantasy?

“Hell yeah. She’s the cop and she pulls me over, then does me right there. I think every guy has that thought. There’s porn with that scenario.”

Do you or have you ever had a “Delivery Guy” or “Service Man” fantasy?

“No, but I’ve had lots of delivery girl and service girl fantasies.” His grin stretches from ear to ear.

If you were on a bus and got a glimpse up a pantiless girl’s skirt would you keep looking?

He snorts. “Fuck yeah. You couldn’t stop me from looking. Any girl that’s going commando, feel free to line up and lift your skirts for me. That’s awesome.”

 What is the strangest sexual experience you’ve had?

He coughs, scratching his head at the same time. “I think because I don’t want Mason yelling at me later, I’m going to plead the fifth with this one.” He groans. “I just meant—oh man. He gets mad sometimes when I share too much stuff.” He pauses. “Although I might’ve answered this question from another interview.”

Funniest sexual experience you've ever had?

He bobs his head in a nod. “The carnie chick.”

Most embarrassing sexual experience?

“None.” He shrugs. “I like sex. I’m not embarrassed by anything, although I should be maybe.”

Dominant or Submissive?

“Ha! Both. Bring it. Whatever the chick wants.”

A fantasy you haven't fulfilled yet?

“I’d do a MILF, but I haven’t yet.”

Your stand on sex toys?

“Please.”

Siiiigh, that was fantastic…how about some pillow talk? 

What would you do if you could be a guy for a day?

“Same shit I’m doing now. Having fun and kicking ass.”

How would you describe yourself so that someone could pick you out?

He shrugs. “A lot of people describe me as cocky. I got a swagger.” He grins. “I’m hot as hell too.”

What's the last thought in your head that involved someone you like?

“She’s awesome.” He laughs.

What is a question you want me to ask you?

“No clue. I don’t have anything pressing to say.”

What is a question you refuse to answer?

“Again, no clue. My mind’s kinda blank right now.”

Any tats or piercings? If so, where?

“A tat.” He grins. “It’s on my back.”

Biggest turn on?

“When a girl’s confident and funny. That’s seriously hot.”

Biggest turn off?

“When’s she not.”

Pet peeve?

“Whiners.”

So tell us something nobody knows about you?

He presses his lips together, thinking, then shrugs. “I like peanut butter?”

What did you think while reading these questions?

“I’m holding back from being too crude.” He laughs to himself.

Thank you for answering my naughty questions. Was it as good for you as it was for me?

“I hope so.” He winks.

Did you have anything else you’d like to say before we go?

“How old are you?”
